Wondering if you had other reports of carolers last night (Wednesday 12/16)? I live on 43rd and Whitman and we had some lovely singing voices along the street last night around 8:30, right before a huge downpour.

Also, what is the protocol when carolers come to the door? Stand and watch? Join them? Give money? Hide?

An excellent question! Growing up in a Jewish (and somewhat enochlophobic) household, our reaction tended to be the same one we used when we ran out of candy on Halloween: shut the lights and duck. But a group of folks singing, it’s enough to melt the heart.
